I don’t ever want to hear anyone defending this evil terrorist-supporting antisemite again. This is a lie meant to justify a pogrom targeting Jews. This is exactly who he is and who he has always been. Think about what these lowlifes are doing: There was a group among the soccer fans that at some point chanted something offensive (not what he is claiming here) and earlier in the week tore down a Palestinian flag. In response, roving mobs of Arab migrants gathered with weapons and started attacking random people in the street they perceived to be Jewish or Israeli. They literally were checking passports and beating random people. Again, this is important to understand. It would be wrong to attack the people who chanted something racist, but that’s not what these 21st century Nazis did. They attacked random people they thought were Jewish. So what does Mehdi do? He suggests it was justified. Every single weekend there is an antisemitic anti-Israel mob that chants racist and offensive things in NYC. That often engages in criminal activity. Imagine if someone suggested we gather up a mob with weapons and used that to justify attacks random Muslims or Arabs in New York near the same area. Imagine the reaction if that happened. You think Mehdi would be defending the racist violent mob committing a pogrom based on the chants of that mob? Consider that next time there is a multi-day tantrum on CNN because someone made a joke insinuating this guy supports terrorism. If CNN actually had standards, they would have never had him on.
